NY's largest teachers union influential in getting members elected to school boards, but some raise conflict of interest concerns

The teachers' union program helps boost the number of current and former teachers on New York State school boards, prompting praise, but also concerns.

www.newsday.com

ALBANY — Nearly four in 10 school board members are current or former teachers, according to a survey by the state School Boards Association, reflecting the rising influence of the state’s largest teachers’ union in electing its members to public office.

The Pipeline Project of the New York State United Teachers union has helped elect more than 400 of its members to the more than 700 school boards since 2015, according to the union, which has nearly 700,000 members.

Supporters say union members can provide school boards with direct insight from classrooms on curriculum, education policy, student needs and funding priorities. The project is also helping members win seats in the State Legislature and in Congress, according to the union.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said three states would face tariffs on electricity after a week of President Trump’s swipes at Canada with fluctuating trade policies.

“I love Americans. It’s been 20 years of my life. But in saying that, no, we’re going to put a 25 percent tariff on electricity coming from Ontario to Michigan, New York and Minnesota,” Ford said during a Thursday appearance on Fox Business Network’s “The Claman Countdown.”

The leader said new tariffs are scheduled to be implemented Monday in an effort to push back on Trump’s international economic measures.

And this is the exact reason not to be reliant on other countries. They are a mooch and that’s pretty much it. They are only a country because we protect them. They either get in line or shut them off. You said you’d never forget, 9/11. They all came through Canada. During the Cold War, Canada supplied your Cubans They are not on board, never were.
